– ### Declassified NORAD logs show mysterious power fluctuations during the event at the command centre controlling the intercept.
– ### Evidence suggests that the facility involved was the CONR facility at Tyndall AFB in Florida, over 3000 nautical miles from where the shootdown took place – was this a long range Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) countermeasure weapons effect?

Thanks to a FOIA release from the Canadian Government in September 2024, we may now have a glimpse of the extraordinary countermeasures deployed by UAPs against NORAD command and control facilities during the intercept and shootdown of an object assigned a NORAD designator of UAP#20 off the coast of Deadhorse, Alaska on February 10, 2023.
The documents include the logs of the operations centre in control of the shootdown, which appears to be the Continental U.S. NORAD Region (CONR) facility directing the intercept from Tyndall AFB in Florida where Operation NOBLE EAGLE is conducted from.
Co-located with Headquarters First Air Force (Air Forces Northern), this Combined Air Operations Centre coordinates CONR sector activities and executes the NORAD air sovereignty mission for the continental United States. First Air Force (AFNORTH) plans, conducts, controls, and coordinates all Air Force forces for the NORAD-NORTHCOM Commander.
This facility is one of the most sophisticated and high technology bases that the United States possesses; it was rebuilt after a direct hit from Hurricane Michael in 2018 as the first “Installation of the Future” concept prototype.
The additional microgrids and “self-reliance” power generation systems installed in 2022 appear to be no match for a dedicated UAP adversary.
Military jargon and acronyms
Before we examine the logs, we should get familiar with the military jargon used extensively throughout the documents. This will help to understand what exactly is happening as the logs give a blow-by-blow account of the event.
NORAD: The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a bi-national United States and Canadian organization charged with the missions of aerospace warning and aerospace control for North America. Aerospace warning includes the monitoring of man-made objects in space, and the detection, validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles, or space vehicles, through mutual support arrangements with other commands. Aerospace control includes ensuring air sovereignty and air defense of the airspace of Canada and the United States. The commander maintains his headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. The NORAD-U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) Command Centre serves as a central collection and coordination facility for a worldwide system of sensors designed to provide the commander and the leadership of Canada and the U.S. with an accurate picture of any aerospace threat. Three subordinate regional headquarters, located at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, Canadian Forces Base, Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, receive direction from the commander and control air operations within their respective areas of responsibility.
ANR: Alaskan NORAD Region HQ – Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska
CANR: Canadian NORAD Region HQ – Canadian Forces Base, Winnipeg, Manitoba
CONR: Continental U.S. NORAD RegionHQ – Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida.
EADS: NORAD Eastern Air Defense Sector HQ – Rome, New York. Subordinate to CONR.
MCC: Mission Crew Commander – controls the floor of the Ops Centre
CADS: 22 Wing at North Bay, Ontario also known as the Canadian Air Defence Sector (CADS), is responsible for providing surveillance, identification, control and warning for the aerospace defence of Canada and North America at the Sector Air Operations Centre.
Op NOBLE EAGLE: Operation NOBLE EAGLE is the name given to all North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) aerospace warning, control, and defense missions in North America. Through Operation NOBLE EAGLE, NORAD deters, detects, and defeats potential threats to U.S. and Canadian airspace 24/7/365. Since Sept. 11, 2001, CONR has been the lead agency for Operation Noble Eagle in the continental United States. Its continuing mission is to protect the United States from further airborne aggression from inside and outside of the contiguous U.S. Today, CONR stands watch 24/7/365 and aids NORAD in providing continuous 360-degree defense of North America.
CAOC: There are two instances of CAOCs in the logs for 10 February 2023.
1. Royal Canadian Air Force Combined Aerospace Operations Centre (CAOC) in 1 Canadian Air Division (1 CAD)/Canadian NORAD Region Headquarters at 17 Wing Winnipeg, Man.
2. Co-located with Headquarters First Air Force (Air Forces Northern) at Tyndall AFB, Fla., a CAOC coordinates CONR sector activities and executes the NORAD air sovereignty mission for the continental United States. First Air Force (AFNORTH) plans, conducts, controls, and coordinates all Air Force forces for the NORAD-NORTHCOM Commander.
SODO: The CAOC includes the Air Operations Centre (AOC), which is staffed at all times by a senior operations duty officer (SODO) on a 12-hour shift, a defensive duty officer, and two defensive duty technicians.
CCO: An on-duty Chief of Combat Operations, or CCO, is continuously in touch with the CAOC, and a general officer is always either in the building or on call.
Zulu: To co-ordinate with multiple teams across multiple time zones, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is referenced by a lower case “z”.
In order to understand the general “layout” of the Operations Centre and how data flows between key positions within it, the following image is from [the MCC on duty at EADS at Rome, NY during the 9/11 attacks](https://www.scribd.com/document/18664541/T8-B21-NEADS-Floor-1-of-3-Fdr-SOCC-Layout-Charts-Kara-Notes-268). The Mission Crew Commander is the key position here.
The image above is taken from a website that tells the story of 9-11 by documenting the activity of then Major Kevin Nasypany, Commander, Alpha Flight, and the Mission Crew Commander (MCC) on duty at the Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) on September 11, 2001.
The [Vanity Fair article _9/11 Live: The NORAD Tapes_ by Michael Bronner October 17, 2006](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2006/08/norad200608) gives further insight into how these Op Centres work.
Although the NEADS (now called EADS) setup is from 2001, it can be assumed that the general layout is a common one throughout NORAD sites.
